Allocating disk space

I need to capture a lot of raw footage, so I decided to use my old G4 which sits mostly unused. I want to capture the footage to an external drive so I can simply hook it up to my G5 after everything's been captured.
Since the G4 only has one Firewire input, I plugged my external 200 GB LaCie drive (from which all files have been deleted) into the Firewire port and then daisy chained my mini-dv camera into the external drive. I set the external drive as the capture disk under the preferences.
FCP seems to be seeing the camera correctly because the transport controls operate the camera correctly. However, when I hit the "Capture Now" button the screen says "Allocating disk space" and I get the spinning beach ball.
If I use exactly the same setup, but set the G4's internal drive as the capture disk, everything works fine.
Any thoughts about how I can get FCP to capture to my external drive?
Thanks

Okay, now I understand the difference. I don't have the inclination to buy a PCI card or a different camera, so option 3 is the route I'll go.
Regarding capturing individual clips. I misspoke when I said this was "raw" foottage. This is all "good" footage I want to have available for my project (narrowed down from about 50 hours to 8 hours). At this point I find it's much easier (and less wear and tear on the much maligned Canon) to just capture everything at once and use the "DV start/stop detect" and "Make subclip" to break everything into individual clips.
Thanks to both of you for helping me sort this out. Now I'll leave to the two of you to spar over who's the most intelligent (I'm definitely out of this contest).

Allocating Disk Space freeze

So I upgraded to Leopard and since that time I am not able to capture footage in FCE 3.0 - as soon as I hit 'capture now' the capture window pops up and states that it is 'allocating disk space' and then I get the pinwheel of death. I've never had this issue before. Any ideas?

Okay this morning I switched it back to 'NTSC Firewire basic' and it communicated with the camera - I clicked capture now and it seems to be working fine again. I am capturing to the ext. drive that uses firewire and not USB. I don't understand why, I've never had issues capturing to the USB connected ext. drive before?
So far as I know it's 12 bit audio and 4:3 aspect ratio. The PD170 doesn't shoot a true 16:9 aspect ratio.

Allocating Disk Space using capture now.

FCE seems to freeze up with a messege that says "Allocating Disk Space" when using capture now.

If you have an anti-virus app running disable it.
Check FCE>System Settings>Scratch Discs. Make sure the Limit Capture Now has a value entered and the box is ticked. Default is 30 mins, it can be changed to suit the capture.
If you find a huge file with nothing in it this a probably a result of not having a value set. Delete it and start over.
When no value is set, FCE does not know how much drive space to allocate, so it grabs everything it can get it's hands on. That's why you can get that huge useless file.

USING DISK SPACE

my itunes library contains 4300 songs but when i connect ipod to computer for an automatic update i get an error message saying there is not enough space on the ipod.This is despitehaving over 35gb of usable space left on ipod. why is this? and can i alter allocated disk space for music. another thing is that my videos wont transfer either for the same reason.
i feel i am not getting what i paid for.

Work through this document, which fixes the vast majority of iPod problems.

HT201612 When I installed Windows on my Macbook I allocated too much disk space to Windows, thus reducing the disk space available for MAC OS 10.6. Can I reallocate disk space without damaging existing Mac aplications, files, etc? Thank you.

n I use Boot Camp (Assistant) to change the percentage of disk space allocated to each, without damaging existing MAC applications, files, etc.? Thanks in advance.

make sure Windows will also have the room for updates, cache, page, hibernation, and growth with 20% free space; and Mac should also have 20% or more after accounting for growth.
Spend the $19 and save the headaches with CampTune but backup both - CampTune should help with that chore also but also TimeMachne and clone OS X.

Disk space allocation and FileVault

I recently had an issue with disk space in my home folder which I would like to share because it might be applicable to quite a few private (non corporate) users.
The matter has been resolved, just wanted to let you know that you should be VERY CAREFUL about using FileVault on your home folder, that's what got me into trouble. My HD said there was 233GB free, my home folder, encrypted with FileVault, said there was 43MB (yes MB) free - so obviously downloading podcasts or CD's was out of the question. I thought, 'what am I going to do with the other 140GB of space on my iPod Classic if I can't use iTunes?? After much stuffing about copying things to the root level, I was able to unlock FileVault (which was asking for 30 odd GB free space to decrypt) and copy my music etc. back into my home folder which had been somehow corrupted. Now, when I open my home folder it tells me I have as much free space as my HD, problem solved!! I will never use FileVault again. The AppleCare guy said my files were still safe as long as I didn't leave the computer logged-in and unattended, even from the internet, with Firewall up.

you don't say how many tracks and bit rate etc.
you could certainly fill that drive w/ 7 sessions. I know I could.
You should have a 250 GB data drive but certainly you should not have less than 10% free space ever if possible.
I don't know about lacie disk allocation but changing it while data was on it does not sound like a safe idea.
I'd suggest you reformat the drive to it's defaults. Pro tools can be a bit picky and you may be asking it to do something it does not like especially since you can't bounce to disk. That is telling me it can't read the drive correctly. I'd also do a block test on the drive.
I hope that helps. I use MOTU and have in the past use a 30 GB drive for data but that was 16 bit 48 K.
Now i do everything at least 24 bit 88.1k on 250 GB drives. I have 3 backups.

More disk space from 128 GB Yoga 13 (I just found 3.8 GB for my use!)

If you have seen my previous post about only getting 101 GB instead of 128 GB and how I tried to combine my C: and D: and now have a total of just 97GB, I have an update and more questions:
http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/IdeaPad-IdeaTab-Slate-Tablets/Yoga-13-Where-is-my-128GB-drive-I-just-see...
So, I saw a post about using diskpart to fix 2012 vintage Yoga 13 drive allocation issues and played around a bit last night.
After I messed up my computer by backing up all the crud in the d: drive to my main computer and deleting the partition and attempting to merge it to my c: partion, my machine looked like this:
1000 MB Recovery Partition
260 MB EFI System Partition
1000 MB OEM Partition
96.91 GB NTFS (Boot, Page File, Crash Dump, Primary Partition
8 GB Primary Partition
12 GB Recovery Partition
My guess is that the last two partitions are the Intel rapid start and the onekey backup respectively. I think when I lost my 4 GB that it grew the original 4GB Intel rapid start to 8GB. Since I only have 4 GB of DRAM, I think 8 GB is a waste unless I swap out the memory card.
Anyway, The 12 GB recovery partition does not have a drive letter assigned so I played around with the diskpart tool (help actually listed the commands). Below are the commands I executed. Note that the sel part 7 would be sel part 8 for those who have not successfully or blew the merging of C: and D:. The bottom line is to select the number of the last partition with 12 GB of space. Then assign a drive letter to it so that you can access it through windows.
get command prompt (search for prompt) and enter the first three commands below
diskpart
sel disk 0
list part
sel part 7 (Note: most folks would use 8 to get the last partition listed)
assign
Now there is a D: with 3.8 GB free! I should mention that as soon as I typed assign, the my Comuter explorer screen added a D: that said it has a 12GB drive with 3.8 GB free. Very cool. I added and removed some files in a new directory I created to confirm that it worked. I believe that you should not do any OneKey backups to the local disk if you want to keep this space for your own files. But I can't say for sure.
It would be part 8 if you did not already delete the D: drive.
I did the same thing for part 1 and now have a drive E: with 529 MB free.
remove to get rid of letter (to hide it again)
I should mention that there seem to be some hidden files in the last partition as all the individual pieces did not add up to the total used.
I tried adding a drive letter to the 2nd last partion (which I think is the Intel Rapid Start partition) but it would not allow that. Same goes for the 3rd (OEM) partition.
The question that I have is that I am quite happy with the boot time and don't believe I will ever use the Intel Rapid Start feature. Is it possible to uninstall that lovely software, delete the partition, format it and reclaim the space? Or, will this cause me to just fowl up my machine?
I have performed the OneKey recovery using the little button next to the power switch trying to get my original d: back but the OneKey recovery, just restores the C: drive contents and does not mess with the partitions.
Off, hand it seems that since I backed up the drivers that were originally on c: that if I created a Window 8 recovery USB thumb drive that it would be possible to wipe the entire disk and do a "fresh" install with a single partition. I think one person has done this but at this point, I'm afraid to break my one week old machine until I really need the space. I have found that the read perfomance of the SD card is fast enough for storing working files, video and without a doubt MP3 files (very slow bandwidth needs). So, it will be very cheap ($25) to add 32 GB of "disk" space and even cheaper in the future.
It would be great if someone who knew what they were doing could comment on my random thoughts as far as this is nuts or this is on the right track but you should do something different instead.
Thanks.

I Installed another Msata 256gig drive and used Acronis true image and backed up my primary OS to an external drive. I immediately restored it to the 256gig drive and changed the BIOS to boot off of the 256gig drive. Everything is working great but I am trying to figure out how to get rid of all those partition on the 128gig drive. Window computer manager won’t delete the partitions and Acronis Disk Director won’t either. Any ideas how I can dump those partitions?

Low Disk Space Error on Install

So I've been struggling on this all morning. I can't install
flash player on my hard drive because it says I have a low disk
space. I read on some forums that it's because the flash player
software is hardcoded to check the 'C:\' for sufficient space. My
hard drive is the 'H:'. My 'C:' drive is allocated as an usb but
whenever I plug in a flash drive it defaults to 'K:'. I have tried
to tinker around in disk management but I cannot rename or change
my 'H' drive to be the 'C:'. I can not also rename the 'K:' to be
the 'C:' either. This seems like such a simple problem, I'm a
little disappointed that the software is written so that it checks
the 'C' drive opposed to the drive the .exe file is running off of.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

How much disk space does a typical system start up disk use?

I am trying to partition a 640 GB hard drive for my 17" MacBook Pro. I created a partition of 30GB for the "System Start Up Disk", and after installing the original Tiger OSX software, and then doing the Leopard Upgrade Install, It says that I am out of disk space on that partition.
Does anyone know how much disk space is sufficient for a typical System Start-Up Disk?
How about disk space for Applications?

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
Why do you want to partition that disk?
Does anyone know how much disk space is sufficient for a typical System Start-Up Disk?
When not booted from that drive (meaning, I believe, that it's not allocating swap or page space) my OS X 10.5 system uses 68.4 GB, including 10 GB for applications, 2.5 GB for the Developer folder, and 25.5 GB for user folders.

Help-Erasing a Boot Camp Partition Caused 32 GB of Disk Space to Vanish

Hi
I'm a new mac user I'd I have been really happy so far, expect for this problem:
-I created a 32 gb partition with boot camp.
-I tried installing windows xp without knowing I had to format the system to NTFS during the install
The installation didnt work, and I erased the bootcamp partition.
-When I tried to create a new boot camp partition, it said my Mac HD size hard drive is 227 gb, ie the *32 gb allocated to the partition had vanished*. In addition, I could not recreate a partition because of an error message.
-I ran the snow leopard CD's disk utility and thought that I had fixed the problem.
-However in boot camp, the mac drive is still only 227 gb (missing 32 gb). I can create partitions now, and deleting these partitions does cause any additional loss of disk space.
-I tried erasing empty disk space with no luck.
Does anyone know how to recover space lost by Boot Camp?
Thanks

Let me ask a simple question. What size HD do you have in your Mac? You say you see 227 GB and that 32GB is "missing". If I add those two numbers up I com up with 259 GB. I suspect that your "missing" space is due to the inconsistencies in which Snow Leopard now reports 1 GB. In some places it reports 1 GB as a hard disk manufacturer (1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes). In other places it reports 1 GB as a binary number (1 GB = 2^^30 [IIRC] = 1,073,741,824 Bytes). Since I do not know of any drive manufacturer that sells a 259 GB drive, I suspect that this is just due to the differing definitions of 1 GB.

Dense Restructure 1070020 Out of disk space. Can't create new data file

During a Dense Restructure we receive: Error(1070020) Out of disk space. Cannot create a new [Data] file.
Essbase 6.5.3 32-bit
Windows 2003 32bit w/16GB RAM
Database is on E: drive with 660GB space total, database is ~220GB.

Tried restoring from backup same problem.
Over years and years the database is never recalculated, never exported and imported, never verified. Only new data loaded and dense restructured.
Towards the end of a dense restructure (about 89 pan files through about 101 2GB pag files), getting an error: Error(1070020) Out of disk space. Cannot create a new [Data] file.
There are still several hundred GB of free space available, and we can write to this free space outside of the essbase application within windows.
The server's file system is consistent, defragmented, and can prove use of additional space. Hard drive controller and system does not report any "hardware issues".

To avoid all these things as a best practice
we didn't allow dense restructure on the cubes size>30 GB
As an altrnative, we will export the level0 data, clear the DB, and load the new data. After that aggregate the cube to store the data at all the consolidation levels.

Reclaim disk space after delete an index

Hi ,
I have deleted unused indexes from a history table to reclaim the disk space was allocated for these indexes , yet the size on the disk is the same , any steps I can follow to achieve this would be greatly appreciated..
indexes size is 70 GB
table size is 45 GB , # of rows is above 200 Million
Thanks in advance

in order to reclaim space after your big delete. Don't shrink your data files unless you have no other choice.
The space will automatically go back to SQL server. You don't have to do anything.
The database size will be the same plus the growth of your log file due to logging the transactions. However, internally, SQL server knows that it still has that space to play with.
Other wise you can go for update the statistics and rebuild indexes . but I think it would be the part of your normal weekend nightly maintenance plan

Add another file to the PRIMARY FILE GROUP on another drive.
Above is a quick & dirty fix.
You should makeup a disk space allocation plan keeping in mind the requirements 3 years from now.

Oracle 10gR2 on Solaris 10-Disk space question

I am going to install Oracle 10gR2 on Solaris 10 (x86). I need some advice on Disk space allocations. Altogether i've 10GB allocated for both Solaris and Oracle in VMware. My current allocation is this:
/ ----------->6177mb
swap---------->1024mb
/tmp ----------> 400mb
/export/home------->2570mb
Is this enough to install a Basic Oracle Database? I am going to use it only for learning purposes.

It is Ok to start, but I suggest you to read the:
Oracle® Database Installation Guide
10g Release 2 (10.2) for Solaris Operating System (x86)
Part Number B15697-01
for further requirements and a complete step by step guide.
